Microblogging site Twitter will soon allow users of its six-second video-sharing app Vine to create their own vanity URLs for their profiles, starting December 20, 2013.

Owners of verified Twitter accounts will be the first to take advantage of the new feature, starting at 9am PST or 5PM GMT on Friday. However, “normal” users will be able to do so three days later on 23 December.

Akin to past efforts by other popular social media sites such as Facebook and Google+, the Vine vanity URL will appear as “vine.co/(username)” and makes it much easier for users to be discovered, Twitter said in an email to The Next Web.

“Like your Twitter profile, a vanity URL offers the ability to share profile pages easily,” Twitter said in the email, adding that the URLs were optional but could only be registered by existing Vine users.

To acquire a unique username, users must log in to their Vine account and there will be a page of instructions on how to register profile URLs. Twitter will automatically reserve profile URLs that “mirror verified Twitter @usernames”, so even secure usernames will need to be claimed by registering.
